    We arrived when the reception was closed. But they left us detailed information, so it was very easy to find the cottage and check-in on our own. The cottage is very cozy and clean, and the area is well maintained and quiet. It also has a patio...

    the overall set up of the stuffs that you can use in the cottage. love the hot tub design even though we didn’t get to use it due to the extreme weather.

    The cottages a large, comfortable places to stay with everything you need. They're just far enough out of town to feel like you're remote but still close enough for a run to the store. The hot tub was very relaxing after a busy sightseeing day.

    Very nice spot. The house is a dreamhouse in the middle of the land. To see northern lights is a really good spot. There is a viking bathtub or natural hot water bathtub in the middle of the area. The house is really beautiful. Check in...

With magnificent views overlooking the vast plains and distant mountains of the Skagafjörður valley, our seven charming timber cottages are the ideal place to spend your days off all year round. From the hot tub at the centre of the well-maintained cottage site, you can enjoy the golden light of the midnight sun or watch the northern lights.
I enjoy going for long rides through our beautiful valley or up to the mountains to gather the sheep in fall. I grew up in this area and would love to give you some inside information about the nicest spots around here.
Skagafjörður offer different activities, either for outdoor persons who wants to experience the famous "tölt" of the Icelandic horses and go rafting on glacial rivers, or for people who prefers to lay in some wild hot-springs for hours. Our cottages are nestled together up on the hill only a short walking distance from the centre of Varmahlíð. In town, you will find all the services you need: tourist information, grocery shop, restaurant, petrol station, bank, hotel, swimming pool, and more.
